The Chandrayaan 2 launch has been cancelled due to a technical snag. New dates will be announced in a few days.
The Twitter reactions that followed the announcement, however, helped us get over the disappointment. From astrologers attempting to school rocket scientists on the relevance of star charts to wholesome support from around the world, here’s what Twitter had to say about the event.
Some next-level extreme science:
This is the star position👇 at 2.51am and not allowed in astrology for any new work for success!
Main reason behind the delay of#Chandrayaan2theMoon#Chandrayan2
8rh moon with Ketu and Saturn
Very bad position!
And sun is with Rahu and venus!M I right?@bejandaruwala pic.twitter.com/EKzsiJcV5K

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow lunar eclipse will happen, so rocket can’t see the moon on these days.
It is good that you stopped the process. Otherwise rocket will land in some other milky solar system.#Chandrayaan2 #LunarEclipsehttps://t.co/0dTwLeJ75J— Prabu D (@duplexprabu) July 14, 2019
Better late than never. Be Mr Late, not Late Mr.

Surprisingly supportive Indians:
Thats the main reason for the success of @isro because they count, calculate and observe every minute of their mission. So that mission can complete in one attempt. Many congratulations for detecting the defect during #Chandrayaan2 which say many things in itself.

Technical issues are generated naturally for achieving the minutest perfections before taking a big step!
